Very close to beach access(like one block). We went to see the sunrise. And went after dark to possibly see sea turtles(unfortunately didn’t) it was very easy.

Thank you for your one-night stay review, I understand your frustration with the terrible weather. If you ever have a chance to stay longer with us, hopefully you'll be able to experience the beautiful sunny sky that we can provide.

Ocean Lodge
Ocean Lodge is managed gracefully by Elaine and Lucas. The Lodge is very clean and offers some sweet amenities - heated pool, gas fired grill and a pavilion. It's an old time property that feels like a step back in time. It's a very short walk to the beach. Beach chairs and a boogie board are available.

Disappointing
Property needs repairs and is outdated but the manager on the property was very nice and accommodating. Even though I paid for the room we did not stay because of mildew/mold smell- my friend has severe asthma and was concerned for her health. There was a sheet on the couch with dirty pillows. Room was adequate but not comfortable. Reasonable price for Boca but not as nice as picture shows- disappointed and did not stay

Not worth the aggravation
Front desk was rude and not helpful. Incorrect information on the website about breakfast and daily housekeeping. Very outdated rooms. We needed to make a last minute change it was very difficult getting in touch with anyone.

Room smelled of cleaning chemicals and was impossible to stay there. Light in room not working. No staff to be seen. Don’t know why it gets good reviews.

Only thing that was good...
The only thing that was good about this hotel was the location. I wouldn't recommend staying unless you like old, out dated, and roaches.

Birthday Getaway
Perfect little place to stay it's nothing fancy but it's cute & quiet. For longer stays make sure to bring your own little comforts and if you plan on cooking make sure to bring everything with you. (Seasonings,papertowels,dish soap & sponge, small pot set etc.)

Lovely spot, easily walkable to the beach. But everything else requires a car trip. Some wear and tear in the room, but overall it's a very pleasant place to stay.

The room was clean. However, i saw a few creepy crawlers (ahhh, roaches) during my weekend stay. Other than that, my vacation was great. I loved the location so close to the beach.

Don’t let the beach picture fool you
The reason I got the hotel was because it stated that it was on the beach, but it’s not it’s a 12-15 min walk you can drive it’s was less but good luck finding parking. For the price I paid I could have got an actual hotel on the sand on the beach. Also while booking it says book now pay on site that doesn’t happen they charge the card same day. The staff only works until like 5. I did like that they had beach chairs you can use.

Basic room, great location
Needed a place for FAU family weekend--definitely provided what we needed and would consider staying again, but despite its location this is not a fancy stay. The hotel provided a great location to access Boca and other beaches--provided us with a small quiet room, small pool, kitchenette (though basic coffee pot micro and a couple cups/utencils).Furnishings need updates as does the property in general--kept clean but a few loungers torn, and bathroom dingy, rusted. Basic, inexpensive, pet friendly, great location

I got a pretty good deal, but I got what I paid for. Efficiency, with kitchenette, all fine, but mattress/bed ‘creeeeked’ every time I sat on it. Location was good; 135 yards to beach entrance and another 135yards to the beach. Reception person was not friendly and not available when needed. Supposed to be there 10am-5pm, but never saw him in the morning. Coffee maker was disgusting and unsafe, but another one was delivered after i asked twice (a misunderstanding). Good location, has some updates, but a patched bathroom door should be replaced and so should the bed. But for a cheap place, it was ok.

Kind of a secluded gem. The guy just asked my name and handed me my key in an envelope. Didn’t have to sign anything and when I checked out I just left the key in a drop box. The room was very spacious and clean. My glass top stove had a crack in it and the bathroom handle was loose. I fixed the handle myself. The office knew about the stove. The pool area was very clean as well. I’ll definitely be using them again.
